  This review is about the colour: Turquoise

  The reason it was purchased was for Nintendo DS emulation needs. After much searching for something portable that exactly matches the layout of the Nintendo DS, I found this amazing little console. Beyond how faithful it feels for the purpose I got it for (the feel of the buttons is similar to the DS I had as a kid), it can cover a wide range of games, confidently all 2D, but also some relaxed-paced 3D games like 3D Pokémon. The build quality is very good, as with all the company's products, the buttons make a hard click unlike most 8BitDo and even the other two versions of the upcoming ones (Lite 2, Lite SE). Generally, I will use it for other games as well because it is incredibly portable without exposing joysticks at risk, depending on whether I feel comfortable with the D-Pad. A subjective issue here, but I am sure it will work well for quite a few Nintendo games at least.

  Aside from the Joycons, it is the only quality option with a hard click on the buttons and the scale of a portable Nintendo console. It is definitely a product for specific situations like mine, but especially for such a purpose, it is worth an additional €10. If you know you like 2D and generally games before a Joystick becomes necessary, buy it without hesitation.

  With the Lite series, I think 8bitdo has found the perfect balance between portability and functionality. The Zero, for example, which I also have, is ridiculously small, which makes it almost useless. The Lite pleasantly surprised me with how convenient it is despite its small size. It fits perfectly in my hand, at least, and you can play demanding games with it. The build quality is also very good, with excellent matte plastic. It connects instantly via Bluetooth to anything, from Android to PC. It fits in any pocket and is lightweight, while its battery lasts 15-18 hours, which is exceptional for its size. I only give it 3 stars for the one thing I never expected 8bitdo to disappoint me on, the buttons. The only good thing about them is that they are quiet. Otherwise, they are all very shallow and don't provide good feedback, the same goes for the D-pad. The buttons on the back are even worse, with a poor feel and a slightly awkward design. You might say, did you expect more travel on the buttons for this size? I would say it's okay if I didn't also have the Lite 2. Everything is greatly improved there, and the buttons are excellent with much greater depth. So if you're going to spend the 25-30 euros they ask for, which already seem like a steep price to me, it's better to spend them on the Lite 2.

  Kids, look. It goes without saying that this is not meant for a primary controller to play with alone. It is mainly for 2D games like Super Smash Bros.
  I tried playing Asphalt 9: Legends with it and it worked great. This means it will easily handle many racing games. It is suitable for the Nintendo Switch Lite (like the one I have) and I believe it was made for this. It fits comfortably in a case for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite, as long as it is slightly larger and not one of those slim ones.

  Wonderful product from 8BitDo. Extremely lightweight and high quality. On their website and in the manual, they only mention compatibility with Switch and PC. Personally, I tried it in s (I don't want to say switch) mode and it worked great on Android with Super Tux Kart. I even tried it on a computer with a Linux operating system and, to my surprise, it worked perfectly in x mode (both wired and wireless). I love its design and highly recommend it for anyone who doesn't want joysticks, at a price of 20-25€. One advantage of not having them is the durability, as - empirically - I find it to be the most susceptible to damage point of a controller.

  It is only suitable for old 2D games where you don't need to control the camera. I expected something else from its price, the only good thing is that it fits in your pocket, but I didn't want it for that reason
